 | | Kennedy, lightly veiled, walked slowly up the huge white steps between her husband's brothers, Robert and Edward, and into the Capitol Rotunda where they knelt for a moment, before the great bronze casket containing the last earthly remains of her husband was carried out into the sunshine. |
 | | Kennedy dismounted and, behind the caisson, led the most distinguished company of dignitories ever assembled in the 187 years of this great Republic, come in honour of her young husband. |
